I have some binaries compiled using .NET 5 using runtime 5.0.3. After upgrading Visual Studio 16.9.1 the binaries will not start anymore. I need to recompile them that they will work. But what to do with older releases on customer machines? Is it possible to create .NET 5 applications thar are not bound to a specific runtime version?

    I found the solution: The runtime.json must be installed, too
